In this week’s episode of Default to Yes, Nurse Coach Juli Reynolds explores the intersection of neuroscience and soul — teaching how to train your brain and body for calm in a world that constantly pulls you out of it.

We’ll unpack the science behind peace as a trainable state — not just an emotional wish. Learn how your vagus nerve, breath, and daily rituals work together to help you recover from stress, restore balance, and re-engage with the world with purpose.

If you’ve felt reactive, drained, or tempted to “just stop caring,” this episode will help you rediscover your center and your calling.

You’ll learn:

  • What happens in the brain when stress hijacks your calm
  • The role of the vagus nerve in emotional resilience
  • How breathwork and essential oils regulate your nervous system
  • Why resignation isn’t peace — and how to shift back into engagement
  • A simple 3-step daily ritual to strengthen your peace reflex

Resources Mentioned:

  • Peace in Motion Challenge — train your brain and body for calm and connection
  • Essential oils for peace: Bergamot, Cedarwood, and Frankincense
